Strategos' order to a praepositus pagi on wine levy for military supplies. An official letter from the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, Aurelius Apollonios also called Eudaimon, to Aurelius Heras, praepositus of the 8th pagus, passing on the procurator's order that half of the wine levy delegated to the Thebaid be supplied as old wine or paid at 65 denarii per sextarius.

Aurelius Apollonios also called Eudaimon, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, through Plou[…], deputy,
to Aurelius Heras, praepositus of the 8th pagus, his dearest, greeting.
In what his excellency my lord the procurator of the Heptanomia, Aurelius Gregorius, wrote, he ordered that half of the wine of the Thebaid delegated in the 5th indiction be dispatched in old wine, or else at a price of 65 denarii for each sextarius, opinatores having arrived for this purpose and a superintendent having also been chosen by the council. Take care therefore, on receiving this letter, to deliver to the superintendent the sextarius-assessment falling upon the pagus under you, so that no shortfall may occur regarding the soldiers' provisions. I pray for your health, dearest.
In the consulship of Caecinius Sabinus and Vettius Rufinus, the most illustrious, Mesore 17.
I, Aurelius Dioskoros, assistant of the strategos, delivered it on the same day.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
